The MEC 1 oz #3-#6 Steel Shot Charge Bar, Single Stage (MPN 30210036) is a replacement charge bar for MEC Reloading shotshell presses, metered for #3-#6 steel shot at 1 ounces per drop. It’s built for MEC’s single stage shotshell presses, dropping into the charge bar assembly in place of the factory bar. Swapping in the correct charge bar is how shotshell reloaders change shot weight and shot size without buying a whole new press, since the bar (paired with the matching powder bushing) sets the exact volume metered into each hull. It’s a straightforward upgrade or replacement part for anyone loading a specific payload on a MEC press.

Key Specifications

• 1 oz shot charge weight, the payload this bar meters into each hull.
• Steel shot compatibility, matched to the density of that shot material for an accurate throw.
• #3-#6 shot size range, the pellet sizes this bar’s cavity is sized to handle.
• Single Stage press compatibility, matching MEC’s single-stage or progressive shotshell press line.
• Charge bar product type, distinct from a powder bushing because it meters the shot charge rather than the propellant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a MEC charge bar control? It meters the shot charge dropped into each hull on a MEC shotshell press, and this bar is sized for a 1-ounce steel shot load.

Does the charge bar also meter the powder? No. The charge bar meters the shot charge; the powder bushing seated in the charge bar separately meters the propellant, so the two work together but are different parts.
